The Landforms of Granitic Rocks: An Annotated Bibliography

Abstract

This bibliography addresses the study of granite landforms throughout the world from a variety of different perspectives. It summarizes the content of more than 150 papers and books. The subjects addressed include theories of origin for the respective landforms, the weathering processes acting upon these landforms, and the composition, texture and structure (mainly jointing) of granitic rocks as they relate to landform development. The bibliography is an outgrowth of a long-term study that attempts to identify different rock types on aerial imagery by determining their characteristics patterns. Keywords: Granite bibliographies; Landforms abstracts; Rock weathering.
